For a one-component system, determine which function or combination of thermodynamic functions is minimized or maximized at equilibrium at constant (T,V,mu). Repeat for a system at constant (T, P, mu). For the second case, what does Euler integration suggest for the numerical value of the combination of functions that is being minimized or maximized at equilibrium?
There are four basic equations in thermodynamics which are used to solve a large number of problems and as a chemical engineer these 4 equations should be hard wired in your system
dU,dH,dA,dG
Euler integration suggest that the numerical value of the quantity isthe first integral of the quantity.
For eg, for A first integral is U and hence at maximum, its value is U(U is internal energy of the system)
